Another instructive and engrossing atlas. Thisone provides, on facing pages, the 1921 Railway Clearing House London map in 45sections, each opposite a 2016 map of the lines and stations of precisely thesame area. A selection of appropriate 20th and 21stcentury photo vignettes is included on each page.
Sincethe beginnings of the railways, the network of railway lines that serve Londongrew to become the most complex in Britain. Nevertheless, in the modern era therailway lines of London are far fewer than in the heyday of the railwayindustry.
Usingthe Railway Clearing House maps of London published in 1921 as their startingpoint, some 45 facsimile Then maps and re-drawn contemporary Now mapsgraphically illustrate how the network has developed and shifted to deal withthe demands of the ever-growing London population and changes in passengertraffic and freight movements. The beautifully rendered colour maps alsohighlight the lost lines and stations which have disappeared from London in the95 years since the 1921 maps were drawn. These maps are supported with historicand contemporary photographs, memorabilia and a comprehensive gazetteer.
